ganized and helped facilitate the rehearsal. We would highly recommend Annie!

day everything you had hoped it would be and more. From the first email to phone call to live meeting, to our actual wedding day, Annie's communication was quick, responsive, and immediate, which was important to us as a couple planning our wedding in Vermont from Florida. Annie's impressive background which includes over 1000 officiated Vermont weddings and specialized experience in wedding planning, allowed us to feel supported and confident in our decision-making for our wedding day. Her wealth of knowledge and her book of suggestions and ideas helped us plan and create a day that we will never forget. My partner, John, and I had the most wonderful experience working with Annie as our Officiant and de facto total wedding planner extraordinaire. We would highly recommend her to our family and friends without any reservation.

mony. Lgbtq+ friendly and supportive. So thankful we found Annie and couldn’t be happier with how our ceremony went!

fore the day and made sure we had plenty of materials to choose our wedding ceremony readings and guided us in writing our personal vows. Annie lead the wedding party the day before in the rehearsal and made sure everyone knew what they were supposed to be doing. Her services are worth every penny and I would HIGHLY recommend giving her a call if you are in need of a welcoming, knowledgeable officiant! Thank you, Annie!!

ion lol). But Annie provided us with many ideas to choose from, and we found the perfect fit. She is clearly an experienced professional, as everything went perfectly smoothly. And she made us feel comfortable while helping us have a meaningful, and quick, ceremony. We cannot recommend her enough!

were truly able to talk with her about what we wanted to make our ceremony truly special. She ran our rehearsal with such structure and communication that our entire wedding party felt more than prepared for the actual ceremony. We highly recommend Annie!

the intimate ceremony and lovely readings

he took the time to meet with us to review the components of a wedding ceremony and discuss our vision. She provided us with a large selection of readings, poems, and symbolic ceremonies to choose from, but also welcomed outside material. We had a pretty stressful wedding planning experience and Annie stuck with us through it all. We decided to postpone due to the pandemic and then ended up changing our postponement date and venue as well. We made a lot of changes to our original wedding plans and Annie was instrumental in reassuring us that everything would work out when we were facing so much uncertainty. Annie was also very responsive by both phone and email during the planning process, which we really appreciated. Annie has many, many years of experience as an officiant, which we found very comforting because we were looking for someone who knew what they were doing. She also had lots of advice to share about the ceremony and weddings in general, which we found very helpful. We really enjoyed working with Annie and having her with us on our wedding day; she is a genuinely nice person. If you’re looking for an officiant who has a lot of experience and will help you personalize your ceremony, book Annie! She will be a great asset to your vendor team and is a joy to work with.

any options of each part of the ceremony to help give you ideas of how you want your ceremony to flow. We really needed some guidance, and she was was so helpful in planning our ceremony. From our first phone call to each time we met, Annie was so personable and you can see she truly cares about each couple she works with. Thank you, Annie, for help making our day unforgettable.

g us to hold off on rescheduling. Annie was our voice of reason throughout the chaos of planning and replanning. She was honest with us when it was time to postpone, based on information she had through the Vermont Board of Wedding Professionals. She supported us when there were challenges with rescheduling, and just could not have been more patient and lovely. Once we did have everything rescheduled, Annie had multiple calls with us, planning every aspect of our ceremony. It was very apparent that she truly cared about the ceremony being what we wanted. Annie shared her tips with us from her 20+ years of experience and was able to provide guidance that we very much trusted. Annie stayed in touch with us leading up to our wedding and answered any questions we had ahead of time. She spent quite a bit of time talking with us about our ceremony and what to anticipate. She was very thorough leading up to our wedding rehearsal and actual ceremony. All involved knew where they needed to be and what would happen the day of the event. We can't say enough about Annie. She was truly a source of calm amidst so much uncertainty throughout planning a wedding during a global pandemic. We are so very grateful. If Annie is available on your date, don't wait to book her! You absolutely will not regret it!

ay. We incorporated both non religious and some Roman Catholic aspects to make our grandparents happy as well as us who decided that we really didn't not feel like getting married at a church was our cup of tea. She had readings that she recommended laid out for us, recommendations that our guests loved (do the wine box, you won't regret it!) and amazingly kept in touch with us even though she was going through an extremely hard time leading up to our wedding♥️She also ran our rehearsal and corralled the herd of cats that is our bridal party as well as mine and my husbands family in the most professional way ever! We got married at the Inn at Mountain View farm and she knew the place like it was the back of her hand. She was a calming force on a day that could have been incredibly stressful and we never would have been able to do it without her♥️ Thank you Annie from the bottom of our hearts for being so responsive, thorough, and caring throughout the entire process! Again if you are thinking about hiring her get your foot off the brake and just do it! You will not find a more professional, prompt, and personal officiant out there!

ed! It was great having someone so supportive and caring during our elopement!

nd were still going to have a big ceremony 20, but because of COVID, we decided to just announce we had eloped and will celebrate our 5 year anniversary with a big bash and vow renewal for everyone to come. We would recommend Annie to any who are looking for an officiant. She certainly knows her stuff!

details were correct. She had plenty of advice, suggestions, and material. It was helpful to have someone so well versed in VT weddings to guide us through the process. Our relatives told us they felt it was a very personal ceremony. We also greatly appreciate her flexibility and sticking with us during these difficult times. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant in VT!

andemic threw our plan off course, Annie kept us reassured and happily agreed to officiate our small elopement, in addition to our postponed celebration. She held our hand every step of the way and helped us craft a truly perfect and intimate ceremony. We are so happy that Annie was part of our special day, and we look forward to working with her for our big celebration next year!

s of the actual service and also the practical steps we had to follow in making our marriage official. Annie truly guided us from square zero and built the most beautiful personalized ceremony. She was soo good she actually married us twice, both officially in a small ceremony and symbolically in a large ceremony for family and friends.  If you are a busy couple and have no idea what to do, I would 100% recommend reaching out to Annie. Before our ceremony we were living abroad and all communication was done via email and phone. Somehow through this she was able to deliver the most heartfelt officiation (my eyes water thinking of how beautiful her words were) and she was also able to incorporate various cultural traditions going above and beyond doing independent research to make all family feel welcome and included. Annie was the foundation of our marriage and started everything on a good foot. I am so thankful to have had her as an officiant.

he middle of a pandemic was not easy, but we wouldn't have been able to do it without her! Her advice and guidance made the planning process sooo much easier. If you are getting married in VT and looking for an officiant, look no further. Annie is the absolute best!!!

on the phone, she was kind and truly wanted to know what it was we wanted for our ceremony. She met with us in person to go over ceremony details and helped guide the way. She had numerous suggestions and a ton of readings/special additions for ceremonies based upon her years of experience. She directed our rehearsal perfectly and wanted to make sure everything went as planned. On our wedding day, she met with the coordinator as well as musicians to make sure fades in the music were at the appropriate time. Our ceremony was AWESOME! Everything went exactly as planned. Annie is a flawless public speaker! She crafted a great love story about my husband and I to add into the ceremony to give it a personal touch! She made sure every member of our bridal party knew what to do and when to do it! Our ceremony was truly magical! Everything flowed perfectly and seamlessly thanks to Annie! If you are looking for an experienced officiant, Annie is your person! We would highly recommend her!

ommunication was great.

er. Annie was the best! She gave us many helpful suggestions on planning our small ceremony and kept me on track to get our vows done in time. (For those of you with writer’s block, she can help you find inspiration.) She has a very calming presence that keeps wedding day jitters away and her delivery of our ceremony was lively and engaging. She really helped make our day super special.

er the phone… as often as we needed!) to create a personal and touching ceremony. She is such a beautiful writer and speaker. Our ceremony was PERFECT… thanks to Annie!!!

ated it together with Annie's help. It was exactly what we wanted for us. Not every officiant is like that. Annie was, by far, more affordable than competing surrounding officiants and, honestly, she was worth every penny and more. Everyone kept saying that they were in the moment and the whole ceremony felt genuine- I felt like we created a ceremony that was truly shared with our guests. and the rehearsal went off without a hitch! ( it helps that Annie knew almost every vendor we had- experience, people!) I highly recommend Annie. Thanks! Rachel and Nick

rough everything.

if we knew her personally because they thought the ceremony seemed so personal (we only met her a few months before our wedding)!

g process a breeze! Annie connected with us several times leading up to our big day, and came prepared with options ranging from vows to symbolic ceremonies to readings for us to choose from. My husband and I wanted to ensure our ceremony was personalized to our own style and story, and Annie truly made that happen. On the day of, she executed everything flawlessly- many of our guests came up to us afterwards to comment on how special our ceremony was. Thank you Annie for contributing to the success of our perfect wedding day!

ique to us that really made our ceremony special. Thank you Annie!

ficiated our ceremony.

our very first meeting Annie made us feel relaxed and comfortable. She understood our vision & seamlessly helped us navigate creating a ceremony that incorporated our family, our cultures, & most importantly was a lot of fun. Annie went above and beyond to get to know us & our story. She was always available to chat & to travel to help us put together our destination wedding. We are a non-religious couple but wanted to honor our backgrounds and make sure our more traditional guests felt connected to our ceremony. Annie made perfect suggestions to bring that vision together & offered us an essential packet of readings & guides to help us construct the ceremony. For the rehearsal, she miraculously wrangled our wild group of groomsmen & bridesmaids & actually got them to practice - no small feat. The rehearsal was absolutely essential & Annie thought of everything, remembering all those invaluable little staging hints like how to pass the bouquet & who will fix the bride's train. By the big day we were pros thanks to Annie, even with the nervous-excited jitters, and the result was a gorgeous ceremony that flowed naturally & flawlessly. Our guests are still raving about how unique & intimate our ceremony felt, & how much it stands out in the blur of wedding-season as a true personal expression of love, & that is thanks in no small part to Annie's care & guidance. We recommend her 110%

t of our wedding planning process! Highly recommend!!

far, the price was cheap. Thank you so much

us to ensure it went perfect. In hindsight I can’t think of a single thing I would change about our ceremony. It was truly perfect.

generally thinking and then we had an in person meeting a few months out to nail down the details. She provided binders worth of reading and ceremony options for us to choose from to make our wedding perfect for us, and also planned out every little detail (procession order, song choices, etc) so that the day felt super organized. She was easy to get in touch with to answer any of our questions along the way. It also helped that Annie has worked with my wedding coordinators in the past and was familiar with the Woodstock Inn that she was able to run a seamless day! She even gave us suggestions on where to get our marriage license and other local VT vendors to use. I would highly recommend having Annie as your officiant to ensure a stressless planning process and great ceremony!

ony. We were able to make it fit right for us and Annie was flexible and open to all of our ideas. She was so easy to communicate with from a distance and also met us in person too. We knew we could count on her and she helped us make sure everything was just right. We highly recommend her.

ed the perfect day for us. The ceremony was spectacular, almost like a fairy tale. Annie helped calm my nerves from the first moment until the very crucial moment before walking down the isle. We highly recommend any couple that chooses Annie for their special day .

d exactly what were looking for. She is especially great at calming everyone’s wedding day nerves!

. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the VT area.

th us before the wedding to learn more about our "love story" and give us reading options for the big day. She also allowed us to incorporate our personal vows into the ceremony, which was very beautiful! I would definitely recommend Annie!

t with the flow.

ing a wedding from 7 hours away was very challenging. Despite the distance, Annie was always available and great at communicating with us. I appreciated how organized and professional she was and it is very obvious that she is not only great at officiating, but that she loves what she does. We would definitely recommend Annie to anyone who is planning their wedding!

ld definitely recommend her!
